I started having vaginal discharges over a month ago. doctor prescribed metronidazole 500 for 1 week. is it going to help? i want it to go away fast

No quick fix: Not knowing the details of your condition, this question is best answered by the doctor who prescribed you metronidazole. It is unreasonable to expect conditions requiring antibiotics to "go away fast" since it takes time for antibiotics to kill bacteria.
